凭借在起诉科技公司方面的经验，红蓝两州的最高法律官员正以对人工智能公司采取更强硬立场为竞选口号。
Drawing on their experience taking tech companies to court, red and blue states’ top lawyers are campaigning on a more aggressive stance against AI companies.
州总检察长选举正成为人工智能监管斗争的最新焦点，因为这一议题已从陷入僵局的华盛顿转向了竞选活动。
State attorney general elections are becoming the latest flashpoint in the fight over artificial intelligence regulation, as it moves from a gridlocked Washington to the campaign trail.
随着对人工智能行业及其自我监管能力的怀疑日益加深——加上上个月行业领袖和内部人士对人工智能生存风险发出的严厉警告——这为各州最高法律官员提供了一个绝佳的机会。
As distrust in the AI industry and its ability to self-regulate grows — with another jolt from dire warnings raised by industry leaders and insiders last month over AI’s existential risks — it’s presenting an especially ripe opportunity for the states’ top lawyers.
在红蓝两州，现任总检察长和候选人都誓言要对人工智能及其背后的强大公司采取行动。
In red and blue states, attorney general incumbents and candidates are vowing to take on AI and the powerful companies behind it.
他们的理由是：他们拥有现成的行动路线图，因为他们已经起诉过大型科技公司并取得了胜利，包括8月份与Meta达成的170亿美元的和解协议。
Their pitch: They have the roadmap because they’ve already taken Big Tech to court and won, including a landmark $17 billion settlement with Meta in August.
亚利桑那州总检察长、民主党人克里斯·梅耶斯（Kris Mayes）表示：“我认为我们看到了太多大型科技公司似乎认为自己不必遵守与其他公司相同规则的例子。
“I think we’re just seeing so many instances of AI, Big Tech companies that don’t seem to think they play by the same rules as everybody else,” said Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat up for reelection in the perennial battleground.
我相信美国民众感受到了这一点，并希望看到我们为他们挺身而出，让这些公司受到约束。”
“I believe that Americans feel that and want to see us stand up for them and bring some of these companies to heel.”
